Madagascar Day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis madagascariensis) Madagaskar-Taggecko
While looking through my phelsuma set, I noticed that there weren't really any good shots, so I took this one which isn't really good either, but I like it anyway. She is such a sweetheart. Bonita on bamboo. Nikon d50, Kenko extension tube, 165mm, 1/13s, f/7.1, ISO 200.
Explore #144.
Finally I managed to take pictures of a hatching Phelsuma grandis!
I always have to whistle the Jurassic Park theme :).
A close up shot of a Madagascar day gecko eating a large cockroach. These are the largest day geckos in Madagascar. They are quite common and can be found in a variety of habitats across the island. They seem to do very well in areas that have been altered by people - this particular animal was one of several that could be easily found right near the kitchen of a hotel we stayed at near Montagne d'Ambre in Northern Madagascar.

Aka Standing's Day Gecko, is a large gecko that is endemic to the arid southwest of Madagascar.
Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park, Sakaraha, Madagascar.
The Madagascar day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis madagascariensis) is a diurnal species of gecko. It lives on the eastern coast of Madagascar and typically inhabits rainforests and dwells on trees. The Madagascar day gecko feeds on insects, fruit and nectar.
This lizard is one of the largest living day geckos. It can reach a total length of about 22 cm (8.7 in). The body color is light green or bluish green. The skin between the scales often has a light color. A rust-coloured stripe extends from the nostril to behind the eye. On the back there are brownish or red-brick coloured dots which may form a thin line along the mid back. These geckos do not have eyelids, and they have flattened toe pads.
P. m. magascariensis is often found on trees along the edges of forests. They also inhabit local huts and banana trees in the east coast of Madagascar because it has a humid and warm climate.
These day geckos feed on many arthropods (insects and arachnids) as well as some fruit matter (mashed). They also like to lick hard, tart fruit, pollen and nectar.

El geco diurno de Madagascar (Phelsuma madagascariensis madagascariensis) es una especie diurna de geco. Vive en la costa oriental de Madagascar y suele habitar en selvas tropicales y árboles. El geco diurno de Madagascar se alimenta de insectos, fruta y néctar.
Este lagarto es una de las salamanquesas diurnas vivas más grandes. Puede alcanzar una longitud total de unos 22 cm. El color de su cuerpo es verde claro o verde azulado. La piel entre las escamas suele ser de color claro. Una franja de color óxido se extiende desde el orificio nasal hasta detrás del ojo. En el dorso hay puntos de color parduzco o rojizo que pueden formar una fina línea a lo largo de la parte media de la espalda. Estas salamanquesas carecen de párpados y tienen las almohadillas de los dedos aplanadas.
P. m. magascariensis suele encontrarse en los árboles de los bordes de los bosques. También habitan en cabañas locales y plataneros en la costa este de Madagascar, ya que tiene un clima húmedo y cálido.
Estos gecos diurnos se alimentan de muchos artrópodos (insectos y arácnidos), así como de algo de materia frutal (en puré). También les gusta lamer fruta dura y ácida, polen y néctar.
Madagascar Exotic (also known as the Peyrieras Butterfly Farm, Peyrieras Nature Farm and Mandraka Reptile Farm) is a small privately run reserve at Marozevo, on National Road N2, 75 km (47 mi) east of Antananarivo, between the towns of Manjakandriana and Moramanga. It is a popular tourist stop between Antananarivo and Madagascar's Andasibe-Mantadia National Park.
It was founded and owned by the French entomologist and naturalist André Peyriéras, which is why it is also known as the Reserve Peyrieras.
The collection includes many reptiles (chameleons, iguanas, geckos, frogs), batraciens (amphibians), crocodiles and papillons (butterflies). The adjacent forest area supports families of relocated and habituated Verreaux's sifaka and common brown lemur which provide opportunities to photograph them close up at feeding times.
Most of the reptiles and other species are held within several large caged buildings and greenhouses, which tourists may enter when accompanied by a guide. A group of Coquerel's sifaka return daily to be fed and photography by the tourists.

Madagascar Exotic (también conocida como Granja de Mariposas Peyrieras, Granja Natural Peyrieras y Granja de Reptiles Mandraka) es una pequeña reserva privada situada en Marozevo, en la carretera nacional N2, a 75 km al este de Antananarivo, entre las ciudades de Manjakandriana y Moramanga. Es una popular parada turística entre Antananarivo y el Parque Nacional Andasibe-Mantadia de Madagascar.
Fue fundada y es propiedad del entomólogo y naturalista francés André Peyriéras, por lo que también se la conoce como la Reserva Peyrieras.
La colección incluye numerosos reptiles (camaleones, iguanas, salamanquesas, ranas), batracios (anfibios), cocodrilos y papillones (mariposas). La zona boscosa adyacente alberga familias de sifakas de Verreaux y lémures pardos comunes reubicados y habituados, lo que brinda la oportunidad de fotografiarlos de cerca cuando se alimentan.
La mayoría de los reptiles y otras especies se encuentran en grandes edificios enjaulados e invernaderos, a los que pueden acceder los turistas acompañados de un guía. Un grupo de sifakas de Coquerel regresa a diario para ser alimentado y fotografiado por los turistas.
"Phelsuma borbonica" est une espèce de geckos de la famille des Gekkonidae, nommée en français sous de nombreuses variantes : gecko vert des hauts, gecko diurne de Bourbon, gecko diurne de la Réunion, lézard vert des hauts ou simplement lézard vert. Ce gecko diurne et arboricole de 15 cm maximum pour les mâles et 13 cm pour les femelles vit dans les sous-bois bien éclairés de la Réunion où le climat est chaud et humide avec une température qui varie de 25 à 30 °C dans la journée pour chuter durant la nuit aux alentours de 20 °C avec une hygrométrie variant de 50 à 80 % selon les moments de la journée. Il se nourrit de petits insectes (papillons, mouches, termites), d'araignées et de micro-invertébrés ; il apprécie également le nectar des fleurs, la pulpe et le jus des fruits, ce qui l'amène à jouer un rôle de pollinisateur pour la flore locale.
"Phelsuma borbonica" is a species of gecko from the Gekkonidae family, named in French under many variations: green gecko of the heights, day gecko of Bourbon, day gecko of Reunion, green lizard of the heights or simply green lizard. This diurnal and arboreal gecko of 15 cm maximum for males and 13 cm for females lives in the well-lit undergrowth of Reunion where the climate is hot and humid with a temperature that varies from 25 to 30 °C during the day to drop during the night to around 20 °C with a humidity varying from 50 to 80% depending on the time of day. It feeds on small insects (butterflies, flies, termites), spiders and micro-invertebrates; It also appreciates flower nectar and fruit pulp and juice, which leads it to play a role as a pollinator for local flora.

Phelsuma laticauda laticauda (Gold Dust Day Gecko)
Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii
I first spotted this colorful gecko while lounging poolside in Kauai. As I was laying down I saw it dart around underneath the deck above the planter that was behind me. The next day I decided to bring my camera to the pool in case it made another appearance. Not only did I see it again, but there were two. One was considerably larger (about 6 inches long; the smaller one was thinner and about 1-2 inches shorter). I'm not sure if one was a male and the other was a female, or if the smaller one was younger. Based on their behavior I'm guessing that it was a male and female specimen (the bigger one seemed to be chasing around and trying to attract the attention of the smaller one). After researching the identity of this lizard I learned that it was originally from Madagascar, the Comoros Islands, and the Farquhar atoll in Seychelles. According to geckoweb.org it had been introduced to the Hawaiian islands in 1974 when a student released eight specimens on the University of Hawaii campus. Gold Dust Day Geckos feed on small insects, nectar, pollen, sweet sap, and juices from over-ripe fruit.
Die Taggeckos oder Phelsumen (Phelsuma) sind eine Gattung kleiner Echsen aus der Familie der Geckos (Geckonidae). Im Gegensatz zu der Mehrzahl der anderen Geckos sind Phelsumen bis auf Phelsuma guentheri tagaktiv, andere tagaktive Geckos gehören zu den Gattungen Lygodactylus, Sphaerodactylus, Quedenfeldtia und Gonatodes. Phelsuma ist als einzige Geckogattung neben Uroplatus komplett im Anhang 2 des Washingtoner Artenschutz-Übereinkommens aufgeführt
Die Färbung der Taggeckos erstreckt sich von einfachem Grün mit Farbtupfern bis zu komplexen gelb-blauen Mustern. Die Gesamtlänge von Phelsumen reicht von etwa 85 mm bis zu über 300 mm, wobei die meisten Arten knapp 200 mm erreichen. Sie haben runde Pupillen und besitzen keine Augenlider. Die ursprünglich vorhandenen oberen und unteren Augenlider sind im Laufe der Evolution zusammengewachsen und haben sich zu einer durchsichtigen Membran entwickelt. Beiderseits befindet sich hinter dem Trommelfell der endolymphatische Apparat, der häufig als Kalksäckchen bezeichnet wird. Der endolymphatische Apparat setzt sich zusammen aus einem beutelförmigen Saccus endolymphaticus und einem zuführenden Gang, dem Ductus endolymphaticus. Diese beiden Strukturen enthalten Calcium. Dieses Organ dient sowohl als Gleichgewichtsorgan als auch als Calciumspeicher. Die Weibchen benutzen diesen Speicher zur Eierschalenproduktion. Die Geschlechter sind hauptsächlich an den bei Männchen stark ausgebildeten Femoralporen oberhalb der Kloakenregion zu unterscheiden. Die Daumen sind im Vergleich zu den übrigen Zehen kurz. Die Schuppen an der Unterseite der Zehen werden als Subdigitallamellen bezeichnet. Sie sind in mehreren Längsreihen angeordnet. Die Subdigitallamellen sind einseitig mit 80-120 Mikrometer langen Setae (Haftborsten) besetzt. Diese Setae fasern sich wiederum in jeweils etwa 1000, endständig tellerförmig verbreitete, Spatulae auf. Diese Spatulae können sich in den kleinsten Unebenheiten eines Substrates verkrallen, weswegen Phelsumen auch an scheinbar glatten Oberflächen haften können.
This Gold Dust Day Gecko was caught in the act of removing moisture from it's eye with its tongue. This individual is from a small population in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Perhaps the hardest damn animal ive ever tried to shoot. They dip the moment you come close. I really want to get more of these because they are stunning little creatures, but also cunning, timid and infuriating. #madagascargolddustdaygecko #golddustdaygecko #madagascargecko #gecko #insitu #phelsuma #HELLsuma #phelsumalaticauda #hawaii #bigisland #herpinghawaii #bigislandherps
